Do you find it hard to actually apply English language teaching theory to your teaching?
Often, research articles can feel distant, like the ideas are for a completely different world because you don’t see how they apply to your teaching situation.
At the same time, you recognize that academic research in English language teaching is important to know about and understand – for yourself and your students.
That’s why I’ve reviewed the book, Teaching English to Second Language Learners in Academic Contexts: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking, for you.
It’s definitely a gold mine if you teach academic English, but it’s also worth a read even if you’re not. The authors themselves mention that this book can benefit teachers who are:
◼ looking to give new energy to their teaching,
◼ just starting out, and
◼ pre-service teachers.
